<p>Ok I just received a likely letter a few days ago, and I was wondering what happens next. Is there some program that I go to where I meet other students who got LL from Duke too? Thanks.</p>
<p>No, you sit back and wait for that acceptance letter and decide if you want to go to Duke.</p>
<p>Duke invites its 300-350 strongest admits for a special campus weekend trip at the end of March/beginning of April I believe where you get a personalized tour of the buildings and receive a speech from Coach K. This definitely happened for those admitted during 2007 for the Class of 2011 (when I graduated) but I’m not sure if they’ve scrapped it or not.</p>
<p>Were you aware of this weekend SBR?</p>
<p>Mandelbrot, congratulations on being admitted to such a fantastic university!! You can sit back and enjoy senior year of HS now.:)</p>
<p>Nope was not aware of this, hmm guess I was wrong then. My bad. Oh well, that’s just an extra step:</p>
<p>1) Wait for acceptance letter
2) Go to special secret weekend
3) Decide where you want to go to college</p>
<p>Watch out for a potential scholarship recruitment letter now. It’s more likely if you’ve gotten a likely letter, but still very much a waiting game!</p>
<p>I just got my likely letter today! I am so surprised I did not even know they existed and I started researching it and cannot believe I got one! Is this ‘secret weekend’ the April dates that were mentioned in the letter?</p>
<p>MarinaK, what state are you from?</p>
<p>I live in Florida.</p>
<p>I received a likely letter today too! I did not know Duke or other schools did this. I live in Florida…Now what?</p>
<p>Congrats!! Is there any reason in particular you think you got one? Major etc?</p>
<p>I received one today as well, and I live in California. I’m not a urm or legacy or athletic recruit, but I applied for bioengineering and submitted my app in early December. Pretty stoked :D</p>
<p>I am not a urm, legacy, or athletic recruit either. I honestly do not know why exactly I got a letter. I had a pretty awesome essay though that related to a trip I took to Ecuador this summer and maybe they loved it and thought I would be perfect for DukeEngage, but that is only a guess. I mean I have good scores, perfect grades, and decent extracurriculars but doesn’t everybody? Something just must have clicked.</p>
<p>OMG I got the likely letter!!! Does that mean that I’m in? I can’t wait to go for LSRW! Is anyone here in this forum going for 2012??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, assuming that you don’t implode. Congratulations!!!</p>
<p>Congrats! I wish I’d get a LL, but I’m a weak applicant.</p>
<p>I got a likely letter as well. I’m stoked!!!</p>
<p>Has anyone received followup communications after receiving the likely letter? I got my LL in February, got rejected by Robertson and have not heard a word since…</p>
